Re: FRC Top 25- Preseason Ranking
I'm honored that Team 233 is number three on the list, but I'm the first to admit that rankings like this are just for fun. There are teams which are consistently good, but even the best teams have ups and downs in "reading" what it will take to play the new game well. To my team, our high ranking presents a challenge to prove that we belong there. To those who didn't make the list, you have the challenge of proving the six who made this list wrong. I, personally, have more fun exceeding expectations rather than falling short of expectations, which made the 1998 Championship I experienced with Team 45 so sweet. We had disastrous years in '96 and '97, and had maybe the most impressive turnaround in FIRST history to win in '98. The same can happen for those of you in teams that didn't make the "list." What I'm saying is this. Don't take rankings like this too seriously.

The views I express here are mine, and mine alone, not those of my team, FIRST, or my previous teams.
